Top Feel Good Movies of All Time
#1- Wizard of Oz
Noted as the most watched movie ever to be made, the Wizard of Oz, has remained a splendid classic of never ending imagination. Based on the novel by L. Frank Baum's 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', this story has made children and adults cry and laugh. The song Over the Rainbow being one of its sound tracks, is yet another timeless master piece.
#2- Gods Must be Crazy
Made in 1980 this movie was set in Botswana and South Africa. It is a story of an African bushmen tribal family and how one man tries his best to get rid of a Coco-Cola bottle for the entire tribe, as they deem it to be evil. Initially, when they see the bottle they believe it to be a gift from god, but soon the other members of the family begin to get possessive, and fights occur over the sacred object. This hilarious story also has a romantic twist between a scientist and a school teacher. This movie is a classic and is a must watch for all age groups.
#3- Forest Gump
Based on the novel, Forest Gump by Winston Groom, this is a comedy drama that has its hilarious as well as some really heart rendering moments. It's about this man called 'Forest' who is played by actor Tom Hanks. Forest happens to be a not so smart man, in the common man's term. In spite what others may think about him, Forest is exceptionally bright in his own unconventional ways. He goes on to fight in the Vietnam war, where he saves many lives. For the bravery displayed under fire, he is honored by the president of the United States himself. This story cannot be justified in words and has to be seen, in order for the viewer to truly appreciate the characters as well as the story line.
#4- Mrs. Doubtfire
An epic comedy of the 20th century, played by the great Robbie Williams. The story revolves around Daniel the husband who is having marital problems with his wife Miranda, who somehow dislikes Daniel's childish sense of humor. They get separated, and Daniel finds out that Miranda has met someone else. Daniel takes on an alter ego by dressing up as an old nanny (Mrs. DoubtFire), and takes up the job of babysitting his 3 kids, who now stay with their mother. It's an absolutely mind boggling comic role. This movie has won acclaim in every possible arena of cinematic excellence. It won the Academy Award for Best Makeup as well.
#5- Home Alone
This movie had 4 parts with the same actor Macaulay Culkin playing the role in the first 3 parts. Kevin is an 8 year old boy who feels ignored by his rather unusual and busy family. The entire collection of Home Alone series was a humongous hit worldwide. The story revolves around a huge family that has many adult members and children. They are an average well to do upper middle class family. The family plans a vacation, though in the process of packing they forget Kevin at home, and they realize this tiny fact only when they are all aboard on a plane to Paris. He takes this opportunity to have as much fun as possible, but soon realizes that there are thieves on the prowl. He makes dramatic efforts to keep the thieves away, by making his own contraptions. Ironically, his contraptions cause severe damage to the two thieves and thus the plot goes on. Until of course they get caught by the cops. Home Alone is one of my favorite feel good movies ever!
